Palestinian terrorists infiltrated a Jewish community south of Bethlehem in the Gush Etzion region on Thursday evening. Wielding a pistol and a knife, the terrorists entered the library of the community's yeshiva and threatened students and counselors gathered there.

Security officials believe the terrorists intended to hold the yeshiva students and staff hostage.

Two armed school counselors struggled with and finally killed the two terrorists, but not before suffering light stab wounds.

It was later revealed that the two 20-year-old terrorists were released from an Israeli prison just last week.
